Former Bingo Hall Manager Gets Sentenced By Judge For Stealing Money

The Kensington Bingo Centre has been a place where people came to play friendly games of Bingo and where the money that was generated went to charity, but the manager of the hall apparently thought the charity was her pocket as she was sentenced for stealing money from the hall.

Terry Joan Aikens was a manager at Kensington and she was caught stealing the money after an auditor from Alberta Gaming and Liquor came in and realized that over $36,500 was missing.

When confronted, Aikens apparently told the auditor that the money was in the concession account. But when bank statements showed that only $12,000 was in the concessions account, the inspector continued his investigation.

The remaining money was turned over to the inspector after Aikens admitted to taking the money, and while her lawyer claims that she always repaid the money, she still was sentenced.

The sentence included a twelve month sentence that was to be served in the community. The first six months will be served on house arrest, and the next six will be served with a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. 60 hours of community service will also have to be done by Aikens.
